These are a few photos of Chloe Sevigny’s house in New York City that were published by House and Garden and Apartamento. I like that mix of chic shabbiness, unexpected pieces, girls’ wardrobe chaos and vintage, interesting corners. Since a house represents ourselves, probably we should all come out having something like Chloe Sevigny’s eclectic mix, and not matchy matchy flats that often look like they’ve never been experienced by anyone.

Details Spotting: I guess that among Chloe’s hats hanging in the wardrobe there’s that hat, the bunny ears from Gummo! In the photo below I could also notice a photo of another muse, Edie Sedgwick: I wonder if Chloe was inspired by her when she had the blond and short pixie haircut.

Photos I took at the Vintage Market (“Mercatino dell’Antiquariato”) in Milan (on Alzaia Naviglio Grande and streets nearby, last sunday of every month) and Alice (last photo), vintage lover.

The “Local” Tip: Some stall holders may shout at you telling you you can’t take pictures.. Don’t get too worried and take a couple quick shots: there’s not a specific reason for them doing it, they’re old and not use to the modern life and don’t understand at all how much their business could be helped by your images the internet!

From Top: cherry blossoms in Milan, Betty Boop and some of the objects in the window of the vintage forniture and costume jewellery shop in Corso di Porta Ticinese, outdoor small garden at Caffe’ della Pusterla in Via De Amicis, the view from a flat in Sant’Agostino neighborhood.

..I know! Some of you love it, some others just hate it.. What shall you do on Valentine’s day? Some love to get furtively in their lover’s flat, and stuff their bedroom with rose petals-soft animals-chocolate-lingerie, some others don’t like at all this kind of stuff and these days avoid everything that has vaguely the shape of a flower, the red colour or the smell of chocolate.. Some others take it really seriously, and buy their girlfriend/boyfriend a trip somewhere very expensive (where supposivley their love will grow even more through pamperings and pina coladas), some others when reminded of the day just answer “What??” with a you-are-absolutely-out-of-topic look.. And so, you know what? To make all of you happy I’ll just post an incredible amount of things that you could buy for you or someone else, that could be appreciated on Valentine’s day, but also on any other day of the year. That you would use in a love day, but also not (come on, we wear lingerie every day of the year [you do, right?], and we eat chocolate more often when feeling down than in a Jacuzzi surrounded of palms and birds singing [ok, I’m exagerating]).. So, everyone alright with this? Hope so. Because I looked for these things for you with all my love, and it’s all that matters.

Above, one of the Valentine’s Day exclusive treats by Pierre Marcolini, belgian maitre chocolatier. His creations are of an exquisite taste and can be sent anywhere in special packages anti-breakage and melting. You have time till the 10th of February to order online to receive all that you wanted by Valentine’s Day. There’s also a competition that is running now in his flagship stores and on the Facebook Page, where they promise a secret (and I guess very yummy) surprise…

I found on xoJane this beautiful photo shoot of Courtney Love’s townhouse in NYC. Not only this is a wonderful house, finely painted and decorated, but I felt kind of emotional looking throught the objects of her own private life. It’s like, do you remember that book, Post Secret? Looking at these photos I had the feeling of taking a sneak peek through someone else’s past and present, at the people that shared places with them, and the simple taste for what’s beautiful, or unexpected, to furnish a house.

Yes, this week to cheer you up and kill mondays I’ll start with an ultra-lovely -Hello sunshine- just for you, hand made by me.. I mean, why to use graphic design softwares when you yourself are born such a marking pens’ maniac?
